2 & 3, neither have a stupid collar like the away #1! [Post edited 28 Sep 2015 16:52]

That wasn't the collar design I sent in so presumably Errea have made amendments to others too. Mine was a normal V neck.
I think it's meant to be a grandad collar (for some reason the picture has it unbuttoned - it's a bit easier to work out on the Dale Wall pictures) a bit like Newcastle used in 95/96. The reality should look a lot better than that graphic.
Full reviews to come later... [Post edited 28 Sep 2015 17:15]

Home 3 Away 6 for me
Away 6 is the 1974 home kit I think - the one where we lost a record number of games though ! |  |

There's a rather charming Tony Hart feel about the way they included the ages. Shame they couldn't be set to music |  | | |

5 home and 5 away for me, sashes should be avoided at all costs, last time we had a sash was 73-74 when we had the worst post war season, got relegated and took 35 years to repair the damage, yes I am superstitious when it comes to the dale |  | | |

Disclaimer: it's been a great idea by the club to go down this route to choose the kits, any opinions are merely my own and shouldn't be seen as overly critical of anyone who sent a design in.
Home kit 1: if we were going back to just blue & white this current season as chosen by the players, this design would have been a far better choice than the one we have. However weren't kits meant to include black too?
Home kit 2: really like it. Sticks to blue as the prominent colour but uses black and white effectively. The whole strip has a certain symmetry but you have to wonder at the thickness of the stripes on the shorts. Less is always more on shorts.
Home kit 3: Agggh! The kit itself is fine, but it isn't saying Rochdale enough. The mistake we made around the 13/14 kit worn in the promotion season was that it contains too much black - it darkens the strip too much. Combine this with black shorts and the whole outfit loses impact and blue becomes secondary. This was something fed back to the serving Trust board members when they asked for assistance ahead of attending. If the sleeves were blue as others have said I could see this one winning, even if black shorts aren't a personal preference.
Home 4: Brilliant! Seriously, it's the one I'd choose every week were it not for the fact that it's possibly time to return to stripes. Using white trim to the central black stripe is genius and it gives the shirt a certain amount of gravitas. Shorts and socks are perfect too - remember that kit symmetry thing? Compare the socks to the shirt; they're from the same perfect kit stock. 10/10
Home 5: Very good shirt. The ratio of blue to black while incorporating stripes is well done. Of the two striped kits in the vote, this one gets the nod. The shorts have those incredibly wide stripes down the side again - a strange look - while the socks illustrate why symmetry is important as they don't mirror the shirt (think 08/09 Nike kit)
Home 6: It's a clever interpretation of how to use the three colours. It's something York did when they were linked with their owner's motor racing team so comparisons may be made by fans of other clubs. If the shorts had to have the check trim, then it should have been on the socks too.
Picking three to go forward to the next round of voting: 2, 4 & 5. [Post edited 28 Sep 2015 18:54]

Home 5 Away 3 but I wouldn't be dissapointed with any of them. Some cracking designs, looks like we are going to end up with two good kits. Thanks to everybody who made the effort.
Thomas Hazelhurst with three kits shortlisted, Erea could do worse than give him a job!! [Post edited 28 Sep 2015 18:15]

Home 2, away 3 for me.
Would be happy with most. If picking 3 I'd go home - 2 4 5 and away 1 2 3.
Virtually all kits better than what we've had in the last 3 years. |  |

Away kit 1: Rubbish. Clearly some sort of kit geek sent that in trying to be clever by separating the blue & black on the shirt to try and draw attention to the two colours.
(please try and imagine the collar buttoned, really can't work out why they chose to illustrate it like that or not use the V neck that was sent in. I guess these details may be up for discussion further down the line. Maybe this could be clarified?)
Away kit 2: Top marks for doing something different and I really think it works. Sticking blue & black on a colour like green isn't something you'd ever think of and that's a great effort. Symmetry marks for the hoops on the socks. Ace!
Away kit 3: Great kit. Central stripes are king for me right now and that's as good an example as you're likely to see. Again, why are the stripes on the shorts so wide? I've seen Chaff's original design and the weren't like that. I'm not flying to Italy to have a word with Errea, but this had better not be a new fashion thing of theirs. The total width of any stripes on shorts, even if you have two colours together, should be no more than an inch.
Away kit 4: Ok, going to be controversial here - its a great design and by using the blue & black in liberal amounts it distracts from the fact it's red. However, therein lies the problem, red wont ever really be associated with Dale by traditionalists (something else fed back to the Trust when they asked for thoughts to take into the panel meeting) and if you have a kit that *might* be unpopular, is it wise to include it? Inter Milan used red alongside their famous blue & black and with it being the main colour of their rivals it never really looked right. Similar here although I think it's a really nice looking strip.
Away kit 5: Top marks for the chest band of blue & black though it could be doing with being followed up soemewhere else on the trim, with the shorts and socks being a bit of an afterthought. Kits can sometimes be brilliant when they're plain, sometimes plain can look a bit, well, plain. As a shirt it's pretty good and if we have to have white, then moving away from Bury links by including black as much as blue is the way to go.
Away kit 6: See the bit about plain and then wonder why blue and yellow are used in combination on a Dale shirt. As someone has said, this shirt is linked with one of the worst periods in the club's history and it's a surprise those present didn't immediately make that connection. The shorts and socks just appear to be there - white always needs something to break it up or, as Chaff posted, its Leeds. As a shirt, it's ok but would anyone think Dale when they see it? And those that do will have shudder!
Three to go forward to the next round of voting: 2, 3. Definitely not 1.
Ok, maybe 1.
Again, it's been brilliant to see this enthuse the fanbase and others around the town. The interest at schools has been especially good to see. There are plenty of designs that easily could have been chosen as one of the 12 shortlisted. I had a feeling most people were secretly interested in football kits, it's something I might start paying attention to myself. [Post edited 28 Sep 2015 18:51]

Number 4 away kit please.
I'm surprised some on here didn't self-combust when they saw it.
The "traditionalists" of the 1960s will like it i.e. the ones who saw Dale in red back then.
And why two white away kits? Doesn't anyone listen? |  |

Why was the collar changed on kit number one? Have all the shortlisted designs been slightly altered by Erea to highlight the options they have available?
The collar on away kit one looks like a Red Setters had hold of it. | | | |

Really not sure. I'll try and find out. Try and think of it as buttoned up.
I've spent most of my time on this planet questioning why kit companies do what they do. | |

Hoped my 2 designs would make the cut (sad face) but some lovely designs there to pick from. Personally like home 5 and away 1. |

Home 2 and Away 3 for me. |
One point about home 2 which was noticed earlier about an astute kit analyst, those stripes down the side can't go down the back without making the numbers look a bit strange.
Similarly, some of the away kits have stripes down the back which cross the area where the numbers would be - there will need to be a gap for the numbers as having a fourth colour for them never works. | |

Just nit picking ......but the 2 away kits with sashes (2 and 4) - the sash on the back should go the opposite way ( if it is like a true sash and continues round from the front). | |
